Nayara Springs

Beautiful and lush landscaping, well-appointed meticulously clean villas and public spaces, unbelievable over the top service, delicious food, and superb cocktails! Definitely recommend Mixology class. Don’t miss the truffle oil pizza at Mis Amoris! Being at Nayara looks and feels like paradise. My only complaint is that the thermal pools are located in a kid-friendly area. This was not an issue most of the days, but we listened to children squealing and screeching for hours on end one morning. Not very relaxing.

We visited Costa Rica Arenal during the month of November 2025 We stayed at Nayara Springs adults only. The resort has been carefully and tastefully curated to create a paradise which I highly recommend. Upon arrival we were greeted with much enthusiasm by our dedicated concierge Luis. We took a seat in the splendidly decorated boutique lobby and were offered Nayara’s deliciously special cocktail made with the essence of pumpkin while reviewing our weeks itinerary with Luis. We were escorted to our villa, number 9, and to our delight it was beautiful. Spacious with lovely décor, spotless, well maintained furnishings, luxurious comfortable bedding and a his and hers area with a delightful out door shower. The private mineral plunge pool with the backdrop of the rain forest gave us an immediate sense of bliss. The landscape architecture is marvelous. Pathways carved in the dense rain forest ignited a sense of adventure as well as tranquility. We listened to the sounds of nature that evoked peace over delicious dinners and yummy breakfasts. Fresh fruit, delicious coffee and my favorite brioche French toast, hoping to find the recipe! The attention to detail in décor and style and the consistency in quality and service in each of the restaurants, cocktail bars and coffee lounge is something to appreciate. We did the tasting menu with the wine paring and it is highly recommended, whomever did the pairings and menu did it perfectly. Each wine complemented each course it accompanied. We have done our share of Michelin restaurants throughout our travels and at home and all we can say is wow to the Nayara dining experience. Every bite, every sip and the service impeccable! We truly enjoyed our excursions; tour of La Fortuna, ziplining adventure, volcano walk and hanging bridges and the coffee and chocolate tour. We especially enjoyed each treatment we had at the spa! A massage in the open air with a backdrop of the rain forest all while listening to the orchestra of frogs and birds is a must for any spa enthusiast. We truly got to enjoy the resort and all it had to offer. During our daily walks around the property we made new discoveries, hanging bridges throughout the property that led us to mineral hot spring tubs each in an elegant forested setting with lounge chairs and bar areas through out. Wow! The design of the resort deserves admiration and is simply delightful, the paths, fountains, Coye filled ponds scattered around the property are glorious and fun to discover. The resort was at full capacity and yet we never felt crowded which is perfect for those seeking a sense of peace and relaxation. We had room to breathe and enjoy without being crowed or overwhelmed with people and noise. The adults only area pool was emersed in manicured gardens overlooking cocoa trees and orchids. We saw hummingbirds, monkeys, iguanas, sloths and a toucan on our various walks. At night the staff would show us where the singing frogs hid and where the sloths wandered in the trees. Wow! The tented camp and gardens boutique shops were lovely and stylish, such good taste in the items and displays. A big round of applause for the people that work at Nayara. Each person was a pleasure to interact with. The level of professionalism, information, service and attention that we received from the staff was remarkable. No one was on their cell phone and all staff were always helpful and welcomed us with a smile and tended to our every need with pleasure. We truly felt welcomed and enjoyed our week immensely. The Nayara brand is a level above the rest as it exudes class, elegance, style, attention to every detail, good taste, superior quality, amazing staff and service. A perfect experience from stat to finish. Every inch of the resort is unique and spectacular and has the wow factor. Enjoy your stay!

When I checked the website, I saw this resort was ranked number one in the world. After staying here for 7 nights, I wholeheartedly agree! 🤩 It's truly above and beyond any resort I've had the pleasure of staying at, and I travel extensively, spending around 90 days a year on the road. The setup is more than perfect, with beautiful private villas nestled in a lush, vibrant forest. 🌳 The villa itself is amazing, featuring a private pool and a thermal Jacuzzi that's just a jump away from the king-size bed! 😍 It's absolute luxury! As per dining – there's really no need to leave the resort! 😊 Breakfast is amazing, and the 4 restaurants are top-notch. The Asian Luna is a NYC-quality fusion kitchen, and the chef creates incredible dishes that are simply out of this world! We had dinner there twice, it was that good! La Teraza was also a hit, with great service and food. We had lunch there daily, and they even accommodated GF requests with chicken fingers and fried calamari. The Italian restaurant is also great, with GF options available. But honestly, it's the staff that truly make this resort shine. From the drivers to managers like Steven, they're all trained to provide exceptional service with a smile. The spa is stunning, and the gym is world-class. We indulged in the 3-hour romantic season – it was a treat! For my birthday they made a great dinner and cake . At the room they prepared happy birthday and balloons…. Really un forgettable night. Luis and Karina are making sure you will be smiling ear to ear daily . We'll definitely be back next year. Yes, it's a splurge, but you truly get what you pay for, and more . Don't save! 😂 Life's too short to resist a treat like this! Best couples' getaway ever! 💕

This place is more than fabulous that you may imagine: you have your own private hot springs directly sourced from the volcano, and you have your own personal host service at any times as you needed. One time I was on a night walk and needed to get my dinner booked before I backed to the property, and I just sent an email to them, and as soon as I arrived at my room, the food was already on the table.

There are not enough word to express how spectacular this resort is. We stayed at Nayara Spring, the adults only resort which is part of the Nayara Collection at Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna, Costa Rica including Nayara Gardens and Nayara Tented Camp. We had access to all three resorts which is really one big complex of hot springs nestled in a rain forest at the base of a mountain volcano. From the wonderful staff to the stunning views, as well as the accommodations and the amenities; this is a special place for making unforgettable memories. Looking forward to our next stay!
